2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Thomas Drufke "10" is far from a masterpiece, in fact, it's much more of a goofy 70's rom-com than anything else, but there's a little bit more heart and quite a few more laughs than I thought there would be here. The film is about a man (played by Dudley Moore) going through a mid-life crisis as he realizes his age is creeping up on him as he's failing to provide a spark in his relationship with the one and only Julie Andrews. What follows feels like a movie made specifically for sexually deprived teenagers, but there's definitely a little bit more to it than that. George Webber (Moore) is a film composer recognized by everyone for his famous ballads, but he rarely shares an intimate moment with people for various reasons. Spending his nights desperate to find his music again and spying on his neighbor who consistently hosts sex parties, there's not a lot going for Webber. But when he stumbles upon a young newly married woman, things begin to change. The actual plot itself isn't the most interesting, especially as it consistently meanders into slapstick comedy. I mean, George literally has a mid-day fantasy of Bo Derek slowly running on a beach Baywatch style for over a minute. It's not exactly the most tightly written or directed feature. However, I did at least connect to the Webber character in part. His relationship to Andrews is touching at times, and I have a special place in my heart for film composers. Henry Mancini's score is another gem and it's definitely a film that can be enjoyed in the background if you turn your brain off for a few hours.6.4/10

FilmBuff1994 10 is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a cast that shine in both comedic and dramatic moments. It is certainly not a typical Blake Edwards movie, from creations such the Pink Panther films and The Party, what we have come to expect from this man is zany, madcap comedies. Here, however, he brings us a very grounded comedy that studies its characters and the effects ageing can have on our mentalities. Bringing this story and these characters to life is Dudley Moore and Julie Andrews, both delivering layered, complicated performances with subtle nuances throughout. I did find this movie to be far longer than it needed to be. Running at two hours, it gets carried away with its simple message and drags on. One of the most appealing aspects of this movie, something that drags people in, is to see the relationship develop between Moore and Bo Derek, but the two never end up interacting until more than an hour in. I just feel it could have been a lot more fun if it moved a little quicker. It was very difficult to sympathize with George Webbler in any way, he is an unkind, self centred man who we are never given a reason to truly support. I understand that what he is doing is wrong anyway, and it is not trying to be portrayed as a wise decision, but the character should have had some good qualities if we are going to follow him for 120 minutes. Grounded, as well as slow moving. Subtle humour and containing two actors delivering some of their best work, Ten is not exceptional, but it is enjoyable, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy, particularly to fans of the great Blake Edwards. After he reaches forty, a settled composer has a midlife crisis and begins to desire a newly married woman. Best Performance: Dudley Moore

FilmCriticLalitRao Director Blake Edwards has made numerous comedy films which have compelled viewers to have a good laugh about their weaknesses.'The Party' is considered to be one of his most successful films.It featured British comedy actor Peter Sellers.In the making of '10',it seems that Blake Edwards has tried to recreate his winning formula but this film about the handling of the midlife crisis by a nerdy musician fails badly as it was not able to differentiate between lust and love.What might irk viewers the most is that this film's midlife crisis segment has been handled in a very amateurish manner. 10 is a comedy with a difference but it is not a slapstick genre comedy.The entire film is aimed at letting viewers know how a man is able to choose between naked women and true love ? Apart from feeling of admiration found in men as well as women,Blake Edwards' 10 tells that there is a voyeur in all of us.It is because of this voyeur that there is also a mad man in all of us.In the film,it is British actor Dudley Moore who plays both parts with reckless abandon.

Wuchak Released in 1979, "10" is about George Webber (Dudley Moore), a Hollywood composer having a mid-life crisis who rashly decides to follow his dreamgirl (Bo Derek) to a Mexican resort where she's on her honeymoon. Julie Andrews plays his girlfriend, Robert Webber his gay friend in the business, Brian Dennehy his bartender in Mexico and Dee Wallace a potential one-night-stand. "10" is more of an amusing drama than a full-tilt comedy. Although there are pratfalls and 1-2 laugh-out-loud moments there are a lot of slow sequences that are extended shots in one take, which means the actors actually had to act. This is different today where the actors only have to act for each 10-second (or less) cut.What I like best about "10" is that it's like going back in time to 1978. I like Bo Derek but, despite her beautiful face and disposition, she's not actually a '10' in my humble opinion. She needs to gain at least 15 lbs as she's just too thin and unshapely. I'd take Dee Wallace over her any day. Julie Andrews appears with her hideous haircut. I kept thinking to myself, "I bet she'd be beautiful with some nice locks of hair" and later in the film it shows her in a play with a wig of long hair and -- sure enough -- she's gorgeous.BOTTOM LINE: "10" is a mildly amusing adult dramedy with numerous slow stretches, but it's highlighted by the 70's chic, quality locations, a handful of attractive women and a good message despite the debauchery. The film runs 122 minutes and was shot in Beverly Hills, Malibu, L. A., Pasadena, CA, and Manzanillo, Colima, MexicoGRADE B
